Hey folks in and around New York: get thee to a screening of The Colors Within next week. Why? Not only will you be able to see the latest film by Naoko Yamada, you’ll also get to see the director herself in person. Yamada is set to attend screenings of the film on January 21, 22 and 23, where she’ll intro the film and do Q&As.
The schedule breaks down like this:
January 21: Japan Society
January 22: Regal Union Square
January 23: Regal Union Square
All screenings start at 7PM. The screening on the 23rd is dubbed, and Kylie McNeill (voice of Kimi) will also be present.
Yamada, whose other credits include Liz and the Blue Bird, A Silent Voice and K-On!, will also be signing autographs at Kinokuniya in New York on January 24, though it looks like that signing is already sold out.
Okay, if none of the above works for you, at least you can check out The Colors Within ‘round the country starting January 24 in both sub and dub form. Here’s a list of theaters.
The film opened in Japan August 30, and picked up the Best Animation award at the Shanghai International Film Festival. Here’s how Gkids describes it:
Totsuko is a high school student with the ability to see the ‘colors’ of others. Colors of bliss, excitement, and serenity, plus a color she treasures as her favorite. Kimi, a classmate at her school, gives off the most beautiful color of all. Although she doesn’t play an instrument, Totsuko forms a band with Kimi and Rui, a quiet music enthusiast they meet at a used bookstore in a far corner of town. As they practice at an old church on a remote island, music brings them together, forming friendships and stirring affections. Will they discover their true ‘colors’?
